INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

WARNING: The server MUST already be patched to NW51SP3.EXE before using this
new FILESYS.NLM or the server may not boot up properly.

Installation Instructions 
 
1. Update server to latest Support Pack, NW51SP3.
2. To install FILESYS.NLM (v5.10 - 06/27/2001), simply copy it into the
C:\NWSERVER subdirectory (or the subdirectory where SERVER.EXE is executed
from) and restart the file server. If a FILESYS.NLM already exists, it is
recommended that you rename it as oppossed to copying over it.

Note: FILESYS.NLM is built into SERVER.EXE but if the OS finds a FILESYS.NLM in
the server boot directory, it will load that one. 



ISSUE: 

The case is not preserved for long filenames shorter than 8 characters.

Fixed a problem that manifested itself when the NIMS software 
attempted to rename the LONG name space entry name (which happened to be
identicle to the DOS name space entry name) to be lower case.  This issue is
fairly unique and would only happen if the name conformed to the 8.3 standard,
and also only if the name space entry name was being renamed to the same name
that if uppercased existed in the corresponding DOS name space entry name.  If
this name exists in another entry's DOS name space entry name, then an error
will be returned still to avoid the "cross name" problem.
